Grading List

Effective 1st January 2018Compiled by Official Grader - David Hamar

Facts And Figures

Numbers & Averages:-

244 drivers raced in the seventh and last grading period of 2017, which contained 30 meetings. The average car attendance across the 29 mainland U.K. meetings was 28.24 and there were 54 different race winners. In total, 416 drivers have raced during the 2017 season.

The Novice of the Year is open to ‘genuine’ novices, i.e. those who are in their first BriSCA F2 season and who started the season with a white roof. The novice who has scored the most national points at the end of the season will be the winner of the Novice of the Year title.

The winner will be presented with the Novice of the Year trophy at the NEC in January 2018. The runner-up and the third place finisher will also receive trophies at that time.

David’s Observations

· These grades will come into force on 1 January 2018. The first grading period of season 2018 will run from 1 March to 15 April inclusive.

· To be considered for downgrading on 1 May 2018, you must race a minimum of three times between 1 March and 15 April 2018.

· As this is the final grading list of season 2017, all of the 416 drivers that have raced during the season are included. However, those drivers who are currently inactive owing to retirement or suspension are shown in red in italic script.

· Note that the final NS round at Belle Vue on 12 November, although scoring double points for the National Series, only scored single points for grading purposes.

· International drivers and those drivers who are retired or suspended are shown on the grading list solely for information purposes. Their inclusion has no effect on the grades of active drivers. Points, appearances etc., are from meetings attended, that are on the National Fixture List.
